Q. Nos. 71 to 75: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow based on your understanding of the passage:

What will our world be like in the future? What will physical education and sport is like in the twenty-first century? Recognizing that change is ever present, certain trends and developments can be identified that lend themselves to a better understanding of the future of physical education and sport. These trends and developments include the wellness movement, the fitness movement, the educational reform movement and changing nature of education, the expending frontiers of the habitable universe and technological advances.

This decade is one of rapid technological advances. Many of these technological advances hold implications for the future of physical education and sport. Developments in computer technology combined with increasingly sophisticated research techniques have enabled us to widen the base of knowledge in physical education. Computer technology has facilitated biomechanical analysis of performance. Computer generated graphical representations of pro-typical sport performance will enhance the development of motor skills. Computers have also enabled researchers to better understand brain activity during learning, and subsequently design more effective instructional strategies; perhaps in the future physical educators will be able to predict with a great deal of certainty learning outcomes.

Developments in the field of communication hold promise for the future of physical education and sport, cable television is growing rapidly. The number of special interest programs presented on cable television is increasing as well. Videotape equipment has become easier to use, and provides a valuable instructional tool for physical educators in all settings. Video cassette recorders are experiencing phenomenal growth; many individuals are investing in exercise videotapes so that they can work out in the privacy of their own home and at their convenience. In the future instructional tapes for different sport skills will help individuals learn at home at their own pace.

Developments in biotechnology hold implications for the future of physical education and sport. Today identification of fibre type proportion in muscles allows researchers to identify whether an individual has a greater potential to succeed in athletic events requiring explosive strength or endurance. Perhaps in the near future genetic engineering will be used to program an individual's genes for success in certain sport activities.

Advances in technology have led to improvements in sport equipment, facilitating better performance by both skills and unskilled persons. Graphite composite tennis rackets have replaced metal and metal-composite tennis rackets, which replaced wooden rackets years ago. Pole vaulters using fibre-glass poles have attained heights previously only dreamed about by vaulters using wooden poles. Technology applied to the manufacturing of running shoes has led to increased comfort and fewer injuries for runners of all abilities. Grass fields are being replaced by artificial surface under tracts by all-weather tracks, and open stadiums by domed arenas. There are numerous examples of how technology has affected physical education and sport, and the influence of technology on physical education and sport will continue in future.

Future of physical education and sport will depend on:

Developing infrastructure

Expending frontiers of the habitable universe

Providing finances

Increasing participation of younger population
